My husband and I went to a fabulous winter farmer's market this past Saturday. Both the quantity and quality of products available were amazing. In addition to typical items, such as chicken eggs and root vegetables, there were veal, lamb, goat, ducks, pâté, lobsters, mushrooms, and greens. Being a bigger market, there were more cheeses and baked goods available than usual.
Obviously, visiting this farmer's market was quite a treat for us. Not only did we get to make some great purchases and sample some yummy tidbits, but we also found sources for illusive items, such as homemade sausage and

Thanksgiving Hash
by TT on November 24th, 2011 | Breakfast Dishes, Recipes
For most Americans, today you aren't contemplating what to do with leftovers. Rather you are busily preparing all of the ingredients for the fine meal that you will enjoy later today. At my house, however, Thanksgiving has come and gone. To simplify the logistics of assembling on the actual holiday, we celebrated last Saturday.
The beauty of celebrating Thanksgiving early was that we had a day where no one needed to rush to another house for the dessert course or were thinking about getting up early the next day for Black Friday shopping. Instead it was a day to enjoy food,

Savory Scones

I have been baking scones for over a decade. They're an often requested breakfast dish and a favorite among family and friends. Depending on which person you ask, the best scone filling varies: blueberry/white chocolate chip, cinnamon chip, chocolate chip. As you can see from this list, I have stayed with the sweet style of scones.
For a while now, I've considered making a scone that ventured into the savory side. My husband, especially, has shown an interest in trying a scone of this fashion. With a delayed Father's Day celebration occurring just the other week, it seemed the perfect time

Caramelized Apples
by TT on October 5th, 2009 | Breakfast Dishes, Recipes, Side Dishes
I don't know if it is just my household, but we get into culinary trends. My husband tried braising meats late in the spring, and ever since then it has been his go-to dish. Not that I'm complaining. Braising produces such a wonderfully tender meat and makes the house smell incredible. Since his first foray into braising, we have had many wonderful dinners of beef, lamb, and pork.
My recent culinary trend has been caramelizing. I have made caramelized onions, bananas, and squash, among other ingredients. For a weekend breakfast for two, I decided to make caramelized apples to top French
